- Public replication package contains intelligible code, omits confidential details (but provides template code), has detailed data provenance statements
- Confidential replication package contains all the same, plus the confidential code, is archived in the FSRDC
- Use code to save figures and tables (
estout
,graph export
,regsave
) - Create log files for each run (
stata -b do file.do
not fine-grained enough) link
Run it all again, top to bottom!
- When doing a disclosure review request, remember to request the code
- When outputting statistics, consider the disclosure rules - the less changes, the faster the output (in theory), but in particular fewer surprises
- Do not think "nobody will ever read this code" - somebody is very likely to!
Now you wait for the replicators to show up!
